MIXTURE: Bottles contain less than or euqal to the concentration printed on the label by volume. (Main ingredients are Propylene Glycol, abbreviated PG, and (Vegetable) Glycerin, abberviated VG). Propylene Glycol and Glycerin are both inert and GRAS by the CFIA.

SECTION 3: Hazard(s) Identification

Emergency Overview: Harmful in case of ingestion, of skin contact, of eye contact.

Potential Chronic Health Effects:
Carcinogenic Effects: Not Available
Mutagenic Effects: Not Available
Teratogenic Effects: Not Available

SECTION 4: First-Aid Measures

Eyes: If this product comes in contact with the eyes:
- Wash out immediately with fresh running water.
- Ensure complete irrigation of the eye by keeping eyelids apart and away from eye and moving
the eyelids by occasionally lifting the upper and lower lids.
- Seek medical attention without delay; if pain persists or recurs seek medical attention.
- Removal of contact lenses after an eye injury should only be undertaken by skilled personnel.

SECTION 5: Fire-Fighting Measures

Fire Fighting Media and Instructions:
Wear full protective equipment and self-contained breathing apparatus with independent air
circulation if a large amount of material is exposed to fire. Containers exposed to fire or high
temperatures may release toxic fumes.

Small Spill:
- Remove all ignition sources.
- Avoid breathing vapors and contact with skin and eyes.
- Control personal contact with the substance, by using protective equipment.
- Dilute spill with water and mop up, or absorb with spill kit and place in an appropriate waste
disposal container.
- Dispose of according to municipal, provincial, and federal regulations.

SECTION 7: Handling and Storage

Keep out of reach of children. Keep in manufacturing container. Do not tamper with the manufacturing label. Avoid contact with skin and eyes.
- DO NOT allow clothing wet with material to stay in contact with skin.
- Avoid all personal contact, including inhalation.
- Wear protective clothing when risk of exposure occurs.
- Use in well-ventilated area.
- Prevent concentration in hollows and sumps.
- Store in original containers.
- Keep containers securely sealed.
- Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area.

SECTION 8: Exposure Controls / Personal Protection

If handling in large quantities, handle with appropriate protective equipment.

NOTE:
- The material may produce skin sensitization in predisposed individuals. Care must be taken, when removing gloves and other protective equipment, to avoid all possible skin contact.
- Contaminated leather items, such as shoes, belts and watch-bands should be removed and destroyed.

Skin Contact: The material is not thought to have harmful health effects (as classified under EC Directives); the material may still produce health damage following entry through wounds, lesions, or abrasions. A single prolonged exposure is not likely to result in the material being absorbed in harmful amounts.

Inhalation: The material is not thought to produce respiratory irritation (as classified by EC Directives using animal models). Nevertheless inhalation of vapours, fumes, or aerosols, especially for prolonged periods, may produce respiratory discomfort and occasionally, distress.

Ingestion: Accidental ingestion of the material may be damaging to the health of the individual. Ingestion of propylene glycol produced reversible central nervous system depression in humans following ingestion of 60mL. Symptoms included increased heart-rate (tachycardia), excessive sweating (diaphoresis) and grand mal seizures in a 15 month child who ingested large doses (7.5mL/day for 8 days) as an ingredient of vitamin preparation. Excessive repeated ingestions may cause hypoglycaemia (low levels of glucose in the blood stream) among susceptible individuals; this may result in muscular weakness, incoordination and mental confusion.

Eye: Irritation of the eyes may produce a heavy secretion of tears (lachrymation). Limited evidence of practical experience suggests, that the material may cause eye irritation in a substantial number of individuals. Repeated or prolonged eye contact may cause inflammation characterized by temporary redness (similar to windburn) of the conjunctiva (conjunctivitis); temporary impairment of vision and/or other transient eye damage/ulceration may occur.

Chronic: There exists limited evidence that shows that skin contact with the material is capable either of inducing a sensitization reaction in a significant number of individuals, and/or of producing positive response in experimental animals. Propylene glycol is though, by some, to be a sensitizing principal following the regular use of topical creams by eczema patients. A study of 866 persons using a formulation containing propylene glycol in a patch test indicated that propylene glycol caused primary irritation in 16% of exposed individuals probably caused by dehydration. Undiluted propylene glycol was tested on 1556 persons in a 24 hour patch test.

Environmental exposure controls: Should not be allowed to reach large quantities of ground water, sewage, waste water or soil. Propylene glycol is known to exert high levels of biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) during degradation in surface waters. This process can adversely affect aquatic life by consuming oxygen needed by aquatic organisms for survival. Large quantities of dissolved oxygen (DO) in the water column are consumed when microbial populations decompose propylene glycol. Sufficient dissolved oxygen levels in surface waters are critical for the survival of fish, macro-invertebrates, and other aquatic organisms.

SECTION 13: Disposal Considerations

Waste Disposal: Waste must be disposed of in accordance with municipal, provincial, and federal environmental control regulations.

Legislation addressing waste disposal requirements may differ by country, state, province, territory, or city. Each user must refer to laws operating in their areas. In some areas, certain wastes must be tracked.

A Hierarchy of Controls seems to be common - the user should investigate:
- Reduction
- Reuse
- Recycling
- Disposal (if all else fails)
This material may be recycled if unused, or if it has not been contaminated so as to make it unsuitable for its intended use.

The (M)SDS is a Hazard Communication tool and should be used to assist in the Risk Assessment. Many factors determine whether the reported Hazards are Risks in Scenarios. Scale of use, frequency of use and current or available engineering controls must be considered.
